   Have not seen a fan page for this group who broke up all too soon. One of my favorite bands, essentially Hatfied & the North Part II (another brilliant band). I was lucky to see them live... 1979 in Lawrence, Kansas. There were about 80 people in the audience and the show was incredible, one of the best I've ever seen. Pip was very animated and a bit drunk but he played flawlessly, with a huge ring on his finger. We thought he might fall over from the weight of the ring. It was enormous. John was spot on, keeping the rhythm section tight and it was magic when he used a cue ball on his bass. Alan, when not playing, was pacing behind the keyboard, deep in thought, smoking cigarettes. When his break was up he ruled the keys, playing with so much passion. Phil had a music stand set up and was reading the music on some tunes. When he finished the page it was discarded on the floor. By the end of the show paper was everywhere. What a great band. Any other fans? Any stories to tell?
